In Reply to: vintage gear operating voltages posted by louie3 on October 3, 2023 at 08:22:39:
my power company has pretty lousy regulation of voltage at the wall. I have 2 power readouts, and of course during the summer the power was worse varying from 114 to 128 day/night. Depends on time of year also. A lot of people are re-charging their electric cars now (at 5-6pm?) and power companies are trying to compensate with the sub-station transformers. This is for my NJ PSEG.
I am presently using a variac for the front end of my rig only.
I would advise you to take a reading at different times a day/night and different times of year to be sure what the power company is serving up and logue the info.
